I have a problem. I have an event that will begin in NYC and bring people on a nice bus to Connecticut. On that bus tour through NYC and into New Haven, I would like to find a company to provide me with approx 30 snack packs - eg, a bottle of water, a granola bar, a piece of fruit, a cookie - something/anything.

Where do I start?: I am based in CT and have a bunch of international clients coming in and no good answers. At a push I can even supply small lunch bags to get to my delivery location in NY if I can get answers and solutions fast enough.
